After nearly all Americans went under orders to stay at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, some cities are asking people to wear face coverings if they need to go out.

由于冠狀病毒的流行，幾乎所有的美國(guó)人都被命令呆在家里，一些城市要求人們?cè)谛枰獬鰰r(shí)戴上口罩。

"It could be a scarf. It could be something you create at home, like a bandana," de Blasio said.

"It is not a substitute for the presidential guidelines (on social distancing) that have already gone out," Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, told reporters. "Don't get a false sense of security that that mask is protecting you exclusively from getting infected."

白宮冠狀病毒特別工作組協(xié)調(diào)員黛博拉·比克斯博士告訴記者：“這并不能取代已經(jīng)出臺(tái)的總統(tǒng)指導(dǎo)方針(關(guān)于社交距離的指導(dǎo)方針)。”不要有一種錯(cuò)誤的安全感，一位口罩只保護(hù)你不受感染。”

Local officials are recommending stricter measures to slow down the spread of the virus as the number of cases surpassed 1 million worldwide.

當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T建議采取更嚴(yán)格的措施來(lái)減緩病毒的傳播，因?yàn)槿澜绲牟±龜?shù)量已經(jīng)超過(guò)了100萬(wàn)。

'It's within our power to modify those numbers'

我們有能力修改這些數(shù)字

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top US infectious disease expert, said Thursday the country can still defy alarming projections of coronavirus deaths with aggressive measures.

美國(guó)頂級(jí)傳染病專(zhuān)家安東尼·福奇博士周四表示，美國(guó)仍然可以通過(guò)積極的措施來(lái)對(duì)抗令人擔(dān)憂(yōu)的冠狀病毒死亡預(yù)測(cè)。

Models had showed that the US death toll could be at least 100.000 with aggressive social distancing, White House experts said earlier, and as high as 2.2 million without them.

白宮專(zhuān)家早些時(shí)候表示，模型顯示，如果積極保持社會(huì)距離，美國(guó)的死亡人數(shù)可能至少為10萬(wàn)人，如果沒(méi)有積極保持社會(huì)距離，死亡人數(shù)可能高達(dá)220萬(wàn)人。

But, "it's within our power to modify those numbers," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Thursday.

但是，“我們有能力修改這些數(shù)字，”美國(guó)國(guó)家過(guò)敏和傳染病研究所所長(zhǎng)福奇周四表示。

Fauci's comments come after a prestigious scientific panel told the White House on Wednesday night that coronavirus can be spread not just by sneezes and coughs, but also by talking or maybe even just breathing.

福奇發(fā)表上述評(píng)論之前，一個(gè)著名的科學(xué)小組在周三晚上告訴白宮，冠狀病毒不僅可以通過(guò)打噴嚏和咳嗽傳播，還可以通過(guò)交談甚至僅僅是呼吸傳播。

With the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimating 25% of coronavirus carriershave no symptoms, health officials such as Fauci have said they're considering whether to recommend the general public wear non-hospital-grade masks to prevent the virus's spread.

美國(guó)疾病控制與預(yù)防中心估計(jì)有25%的冠狀病毒攜帶者沒(méi)有癥狀，福奇等衛(wèi)生官員表示，他們正在考慮是否建議公眾戴上非醫(yī)院級(jí)別的口罩，以防止病毒的傳播。
